Hoagy Carmichael through films and music Hoagy (2013) Directed by Peter Davis November 22 - Friday - 7:00 p.m. The 90-minute documentary Hoagy is a homage to one of Indiana’s most famous sons, Howard Hoagland Carmichael. In a career that began in the 1920’s and lasted almost half a century, Hoagy was a household name amongst the ranks of Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald. While the latter remain in popular memory, Hoagy’s name has faded. His songs however – Stardust, Georgia, Up a Lazy River, Hong Kong Blues – are still played. Filmmaker Peter Davis and producer Pat Keller began the first biography of Hoagy Carmichael in the late 1990’s. The film was not completed due to copyright on music and recorded performances. This work-in-progress screening may perhaps revive the project and set a course for its completion. Director Peter Davis and producer Pat Keller are scheduled to be present. (Digital. 90 min. Not Rated.) Celebrating Hoagy Carmichael’s 114th Birthday marks the kick-off of a 5-year celebration of the life, music and films of one of America’s greatest songwriters. Films will be preceded by live music and surrounded by other activities in remembrance of the man. The Hoagy Carmichael Landmark Sculpture was dedicated in 2008 in anticipation of the IU Cinema opening. It has been welcoming Cinema patrons since its opening in 2011. The series is endorsed by the Carmichael family and sponsored by the Archives of Traditional Music, IU Foundation, Indiana Memorial Union, UB Films, faculty friends in the Kelley School of Business and IU Cinema. 46 Celebrating Hoagy Carmichael Tickets: (812) 855-1103
